We’re a pretty beachy family and we love our techy gadgets, especially our smartphones. The dilemma, beaches and expensive phones don’t really go together. Well actually the opposite is true, sand and smartphones have a sort of magnetic attraction and we’ve ruined numerous phones over the years because of this.

Lately, we’ve attempted to preserve our phones by placing them in plastic baggies, in my purse, in a beach bag and so on. Where there are three kids, there will be sand and no matter what I do someone seems to find a way to shovel sand where it’s not supposed to be shoveled.

Enter the wetbag. Most have nifty snap handles which can be used to hang them from our beach umbrella, canopy, chair, cooler and whatever else you have that you can attach it to in order to keep it off the ground. It’s thin, I can still hear my phone ringing inside, yet it’s waterproof. It’s zipper closure is totally awesome and ensures that no matter how high the sand is thrown, and believe me they know how to throw sand, it’s not going to just magically land inside the bag and on my PHONE!

I had retired my wetbag along with my cloth diapers and when I realized that I could have been continuing to use it all along I was relieved. Not only does it protect our phones when at the beach, it keeps our wallets, keys and any other items that we need to take care and not get wet or sandy, safe.

Just another reason why wetbags rock!
